对于很多准备考雅思的同学来说,不知道雅思听力准备得怎么样呢?今天就和出国留学网的小编一起来了解一下怎样攻克雅思听力难点?
雅思听力选择题难点之同义替换
同义替换是雅思听力选择题的核心考点,多选题肯定也不例外,同义互换给考生造成的疑惑点也可想而知,如果没有听懂原文的意思,那么很难将原文相应内容与选项内容对应上,也就直接导致答案选不对甚至直接感觉答案都没在听力原文里出现过。雅思听力多选题和单选题很像,同义替换的位置不仅会在选项上,同样也会在题干里面,而且同义替换的方式多变。
比如,剑桥4 Test2 Section3的第25, 26两题:
What TWO disadvantages of the questionnaire form of data collection do the students discuss?
A. the data is sometimes invalid B. Too few people may respond C. It is less likely to reveal the unexpected
D. In can only be used with literate populations E. There is a delay between the distribution and return of questionnaire
原文:
ROSA: No, I’m sure it talked drawbacks as well, didn’t it? Something about the response rate and the problems you get if it’s too low. (B)
MICK: Yeah, but we only need data from five subjects anyway.
ROSA: I suppose so. Another drawback I remember it mentioned was that questionnaire data tends not to reveal anything unexpected (C), because it is……
不难发现,问题当中的disadvantage这个词换成了drawback, 还有选项B中的few替换成了too low。这些同义替换都是最基本的近义词、同义词间的互换。
这些同义替换都是常见且重复出现的,难度不大。对于这样的雅思听力多选题目或者说这样的同义替换,大家肯定要在平时多积累常见的同义替换的单词、词组,多去延伸某一个单词的近义词、同义词。拿上面那个例子当中disadvantage 和drawback的同义替换来说,在剑桥3、剑桥7、剑桥9当中出现了至少4次。
当然也有同义替换难度比较大的,比如:剑桥6 Test1 Section4的第38, 39, 40三题:
Which THREE of the following problems are mentioned in the connection with 20th century housing in the East End?
A. Unsym...
